Shockey traded to Saints
Jeremy Shockey was traded to the Saints today. The Giants receive a 2nd and 5th round pick in next year's draft. Here are some quotes before my reaction:
"Jeremy brought great energy to the game every time he stepped on the field," Giants team president John Mara said. "He had a close relationship with my father from the time we drafted him, and I had a couple of long conversations with Jeremy this spring and summer. From those conversations, it was apparent to me that a fresh start was the best thing for us and for Jeremy."
He's been one of the most successful tight ends in NFL history, but now I think he's going to be more prolific in the Saints' offense," {Agent Drew} Rosenhaus said. "I don't think Jeremy could ask for a better situation."
"I have had a relationship with Coach Payton and I appreciate what he has done as a head coach," Shockey said in a statement released by the Saints. "The Saints have a lot of weapons starting with Drew Brees and I look forward to joining my teammates at training camp. This will be a fun year."
